To ensure that Webflow animations still work after using async JavaScript load for smooth page transitions, you can follow these steps:

Use Webflow's native animation triggers: Webflow has its own built-in animation triggers that are designed to work seamlessly with its animations. By using Webflow's triggers, you can ensure that your animations will still work even after page transitions.
Avoid binding animations to specific elements: Instead of binding your animations to specific elements using JavaScript, allow Webflow to handle the animations using CSS classes. This way, even if the HTML structure changes during page transitions, the classes will still be applied correctly and the animations will work as expected.
Use JavaScript callbacks: If you need to execute custom JavaScript code after animations have completed, use Webflow's JavaScript callbacks. These callbacks are designed to work with Webflow's animations and will ensure that your custom JavaScript code is executed properly, even after page transitions.
Test for compatibility: Before deploying your website, thoroughly test the animations on different devices and browsers to ensure that they work correctly after page transitions. Consider using a tool like BrowserStack to test your website on various platforms to catch any compatibility issues.
Optimize your JavaScript: Ensure that your JavaScript code is optimized for performance. Minify and concatenate your scripts to reduce the overall file size, which can help improve load times and prevent any issues with animations after page transitions.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Webflow animations will still work seamlessly after using async JavaScript load for smooth page transitions.
